Eyes open 👀, eyes closed 😑, and chase ray in rare form in every single shot 😂😭🎄🎅🏻. I like the pictures where things are out of place. They make me feel like we look more normal😜. I feel like I've reached a point in the#slowcooker phase of #motherhoodwhere I have no clue what I'm doing.#Babies 👶🏻, I get them 🙌🏻. #Toddlers, yes please! And #Preschool makes my heart ❤️ skip a beat! But this big kid stuff, welp, sometimes I just feel like I'm one of those people on #americaninjawarrior 🇺🇸🙅🏼 trying to cross an ocean 🌊 while walking on a spinning log 🙈. Did you get the visual on that one 😂😭⁉️ Me too 😂💁🏼. I#believe ✨ that the adversary 👹wants us to think that we aren't capable. I believe that he wants us to buy into the FALSE idea that the challenges in our lives are beyond our reach, and that we cannot do this...but I know that he is the master of pessimism, and the creator of all lies. I know that i have light ✨💡 at my fingertips to help me achieve all things. I know that I have everything I need to master these challenges 🙌🏻💕. I know that the greatest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between my knees and the floor. I'm#grateful to have this knowledge, and I'm#thankful the lord has always and will always bless me through the power of#prayer 🙏🏻. Amen #throughHIM#allthingsarepossible 💕

Tooooooeeeeeeee Piiiiiiiiiiick!!!

Tonight was magical ✨🎄⛸❄️‼️ My mister and I twirled ⛸ around this rink with the #Christmas 🎄🎅🏻 lights all aglow. One song after another, we belted our hearts out 🎤 with a hundred other skaters ⛸ like Christmas Cheer you've never seen before.

All iwant for christmas and White Christmas ❄️🎄 were my personal favorites 💁🏼🎤, and I still can't wipe the smile off of my face. Sean warmed up my fingers holding hands round and round, and we didn't even fall 😂👏🏻😜. Then we met up with friends for sushi 🍣🍥 and laughed our faces off all night long 😂😭. I love this life, and the this December 🎄🎅🏻 birthday 🎁🎉 of mine #34 .

Still to this day my ALL TIME FAVORITE #comedy act on this planet is Jim Breuer's "why mother's need their rest"!!! GOOGLE IT, and laugh until you pee your pants 😂😭🙊💦‼️My #kids still wake us up all night long most nights {revolving door--can i get an amen from the mamas and the papas who can relate!?}, most days i wonder if they'll ever all #sleep 😴💤 {everyone tells me eventually they do}, and i dream about this fantasy of everyone going to bed and staying asleep bahaha. I remember before Plexus feeling like i would never feel rested again. like i was#tired inside of my bones. my covers weighed a THOUSAND pounds every morning, and i would only get out of bed because i promised myself i would take a nap 😴💤 #naptime#longlivethenap at 11am, which never happened. by the time 1pm rolled around, i would crawl myself to the couch after everyone was napping or watching a show, and try to sleep until i picked up carpool at 3pm, which never made me feel anymore rested {go figure}, and then by 9pm the processes began again. i was SO happy in doing this, and despite feeling like i was a 95 year old grandma 😆👵🏻and wanting to "kill some cats" 🐱😹most mornings {watch the video and you'll understand}, i had accepted that this was just part of the job. i'm so glad that i don't feel like that anymore, and guess what? there are no bonus points for being a tired mom. who knew!? do the kids sleep perfectly? nope! do i wake up feeling rested and have energy almost every single day? YES I DO 🙋🏼. is plexus for more than just tired mom? YEP ;), but today, i'm just giving a shout out to the mamas and the papas who are feeling like grandmas 👵🏻and grandpas 👴🏻because last night was a 3 CAT NIGHT😹😹😹 in our house {and last week was a 15 CAT WEEK 😷🤒🤕🙈bahaha}, but i didn't have to kill any cats 🚫🐱💕#PETAyourewelcome because PLEXUS pulled me through. BOOYA ;)

Maxine was pouting in the corner because we don't know why, but the rest of the #gibsonhouseofchaoseventually sucked her into our #toystoryDREAMLAND 🏀⛵️🚂🚁😍. Chase Ray's face though 😂😭👏🏻 #thebabyman . Soaking in this little slice of #heaven tonight because a lot of the time they're just screaming and fighting, and I wonder if I'm doing this#motherhood thing right.

all i need is to write. so i can figure out what i'm thinking. and shower. and have a dessert after lunch. and dinner. and really, the shower only has to be every other day. but, sometimes it can be stretched to every third day if absolutely necessary. have mercy if i don't get any of it on any given day. blogging OLD SCHOOL since 2008.
